Horay!

I've been dozing and listening to the radio all night, but John McCain's concession speach from Phoenix has dragged me out of bed and in front of the telly.

McCain's speach is simple and dignified, with a grace and moderation that was conspicuously absent from his campaign. Perhaps he would have done better if he'd followed his natural instincts rather than the Bushies who tried to get him elected with smears and innuendo.

It's noticable how sections of the crowd booed at certain moments - none the less it was a great speach from the "Old John McCain" who somehow got lost over the past few weeks.

Obama will be up next from Chicago - I'm off to bed with a big smile on my face.
